Nutrition and Exercise are one in the Same

Improving our diets are only the beginning of the process of  improving our overall health.  Exercising is the  icing on the cake.  How much , depends on your schedule.    The ideal is 5 times a week,  and it should be varied.  You don’t want to repeat the same  routine every day.  That only wears  on the joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that you are using.

For most of us we can usually squeeze in three time a week , but you will want to vary the days, one week  do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, another week you can do Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

Here are some helpful hints to keep in mind when as you shape up.

Take Time to Warm Up

Spending 5-10 minutes warming up prepares your body for exercise.

Think Variety

Try varying the sites that you bike or walk in.  New scenery can be very motivating, besides who wants to see the same old, same old every day.  It’s like watching a bad movie on HBO they keep showing it and it was bad the first time so seeing it again isn’t going to change anything.

Get you Antioxidants

Don’t forget about the important role that proper nutrition plays in achieving an active lifestyle.  Antioxidants, such as Viamin C and beta-carotene may  play a role in preventing cellular injury and delaying muscle fatigue.

Do Not Forget to rehydrate, it is the single most important part of exercising  is   good old H2O

Most of us are aware of herbal  aloe, we find it in our skin care products, cosmetics.   However, it is used in a variety of products  that we use daily, you will find it in laxatives, burn gels, used to treat dry skin canker sores, and can be applied to minor wounds before bandaging.  It has be used by holistic health practitioners, as an aloe vera juice as a super-drink for dieters.  It can be traced back to the 10th century.  Herbal aloe contains a component that acts against viruses such as flu, chickenpox, and  herpes an can also kill bacteria.

Dosage and Administration

To treat constipation, an aloe latex 50-200mg capsule can be ingested once daily for up to ten days .  The gel can be applied to the skin for minor burns up to five times daily, for more serious burns, should only occur under the close supervision of a medical professional.   For those using the  herbal aloe juice, some people might suffer allergic reactions to the application or the consumption  of its juice.  There is a risk to a allergic reaction, if you are allergic to onions,garlic or other  members of the genus, Lillaceous  family such as tulips,  you might want to watch closely for such a reaction.

Your cardiovascular system is literally at the heart of your overall health. Maintaining your heart health is crucial for a number of reasons. It gives you energy and the ability to keep up with the demands of life. A healthy cardiovascular system is also essential for mental clarity and protecting us from the normal stress of  daily life. Additionally, cardiovascular health contributes to overall vitality.

What kinds of things can we do to improve our cardiovascular health?

There are several things that we can and should incorporate  into our life style to maintain a healthy heart.
Exercise is crucial, brisk walks, sit-ups, light weight training, swimming and biking are all excellent low impact exercises for any fitness level. Proper eating and that means getting the right amount of essential vitamins and nutrients, as well as antioxidants.

As someone who suffers from heart disease myself, I have found that the Herbalife Core Complex is a great system to give your heart the necessary nutrition it needs every day.  However, if you are under treatment,  always check with your physician to make sure there isn’t any conflict with any other medication you may be on.

I could go into a whole list of what to look for on labels but mostly you want to try to stay away from synthetic ingredients, and that is easier said than done. We hear about organically grown fruits, and vegetables, however even they have some pesticides put on them, they have to in order to have a crop to sell, the difference is they are safer over the long period and have less than the non organic. On the down side, they are also more expensive, and in some cases considerably.

Right now I just want to reassure you that eating healthy really isn’t hard, it just takes a lot of practice. The more you do it, the more it becomes a habit; I have found that after a while you do it without even noticing that you are.

As for those foods that we personally classify comfort foods I am not saying to give them up if they fall in the wrong category. Beware of anyone who tries to take my chocolate away from me when I really need it. Besides the skinny on dark chocolate is that it is really good for you in moderation, I have been saying that for the last 65 years.

With all the information out there about the diseases we face today, that is directly related to our nutrition, or can be helped by proper nutrition, it is something that can no longer be kept on our to do list. We now have to put it on our must do list now.

Improving our nutrition is not something that should be on our to do list now.

With so much documentation out there about how nutrition directly affects our health, and how improving our nutrition helps eliminate or even cure many of life’s ailments, how can we not do it.

They  come in different forms, some better than others.   The most important is the safety of the supplement.  The Mayo Clinic recommends that if you are going to take supplements, make sure that they are scientifically tested.  They are not all created equal, and it is important to check to see where they are being manufactured,  the best ones are those manufactured in the United States. Supplements that are manufactured outside the U.S. have been found to have toxic ingredients and prescription drugs in them where in the U.S. there are stricture regulations put on the manufacturing of these products

Why should we take any, well for those people who live a very busy life style, they will help in balancing out our nutritional requirements,  if you want to go on a weight loss program, they can assist in keeping up your overall nutrition.     However, we should note, that  there are some people who should not take these products.  If you have any doubt you should check with your  physician, to make sure that they will not cause more harm than good.  But all and all they can serve as a great compliment to assist on balancing out your diet.  It is important to note, that taking supplements are only the beginning to changing our eating habits, they are complementary, and not the cure.  We cannot only take the supplements and wonder why our nutrition is  not improving , it is only part of the package.
